About the book

Private control of digital infrastructures can affect how a society perceives the world, organizes information and forms its collective will.

This interdisciplinary legal essay examines Big Tech, artificial intelligence, concentrated power and cognitive sovereignty. It connects structural cognitive influence with human autonomy and the democratic limits of private power.

The analysis distinguishes documented facts, interpretive hypotheses, authorial theses and normative propositions, developing legal and institutional avenues for contestation and democratic oversight.
